February 23, 2007, Newsletter Issue #52: Using Dock Lifts As Alternatives To Ladders And Ramps

Tip of the Week


Some dock lift vendors display photos of how their equipment can be used to speed up loading, prevent injuries, and create a more worker-friendly environment. If you've been puzzling over how to do any of these, try browsing the website of a few dock vendors and you are sure to find some excellent applications for your existing dock lift equipment. Do your dockworkers struggle to push loads up ramps or sharp inclines when a dock lift can easily hoist the load up to truck level in a matter of seconds? Are your employees handing down large amounts of material from high shelving when a lift could bring the whole load down in one fell swoop? These are the types of advantages to owning a dock lift. If you look at your operation and see these kinds of situations, it may be time to examine how a lift could save you valuable work time.
